Platycodon Astra Pink

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This plant’s buds are amusing, to say the least, as they perfectly resemble puffed-up mini balloons.

But the open flower is so very different with its elegant trumpet shape and the face-on five-point star display in rich, deep purple tones.

And so, as bud or as flower, it will charm your visitors and trigger a conversation.

Just before the bud blossoms into a flower it looks for all the world like a puffed-up balloon just crying out to be popped (not that we recommend it).

Indeed, not infrequently a Balloon Flower bud will resemble a hot-air balloon in miniature.

buds of Platycodon grandiflorus in their famous balloon shape Opened up, this merry flower is elegantly trumpet-shaped and viewed face-on is essentially a five-point star.

Adjacent petals are joined at about the halfway point.
